"I meant what I said." Noah swept a glance at Stephen before looking at Philip once more. "Ever since I was young, no matter how hard I tried, all you ever saw was Stephen. I knew that I could never be as good as him in your eyes. "Which is why I had long given up on getting your approval. I'll fight for the things that I want."Noah sniggered. "Setting you up to hurt you was my choice. It's only a pity that it wasn't successful. If not, I would surely have had the last laugh."A slap landed on Noah's face. William yelled, "You bastard!"Noah smirked and wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I'm just telling the truth. I've lost. I'll admit it, but if you want me to beg for mercy, you can dream on!"William raised his hand once more, but Hazel stopped him. She pleaded through her sobs, "S-Stop it. Noah is already an adult. How humiliating would it be for him if you slapped him?"She turned to look at Noah. "Noah, you should stop too. Just apologize to your gr

As the sky darkened, the bar came to life with alcohol and worldly desires, accompanied by a cacophony of loud music, glasses clinking, and people chatting.A group of people were sitting by the corner booth, happily chatting away, when a strange lady plopped down in their booth, interrupting their fun.One of the guys looked at her strangely. "Do you have the wrong seat? We don't know you.""Have you forgotten me so quickly?" The lady leaned in closer so that they could have a better look at her face. "I just joined Anderson Group together with you all. Have you all forgotten?"Another lady soon recognized her. "You’re the one who got kicked out on the first day of the job. You were asking me about Mr. Jacobs the other day."Jane looked at her and smiled. "You don't have to add the first sentence."Hearing the warning in her tone, the other lady was a little unhappy. "You've been fired. Why are you still trying to get close to us?""Who says I don't have a chance of returning

Julian was on the phone with Stephen, reporting about Noah's situation. "We're still looking for him. We should be able to find him soon. "Also, we have already spoken to all of his friends. No one would dare to take him in. Which is why we'll know immediately the moment Mr. Noah checks into a hotel."Julian was confident about his arrangement. He truly believed that Noah wouldn't be able to hide from him since he had nowhere to go."Hmm," Stephen responded, then he realized Yvonne was calling him."That's all." He hung up directly.Julian was baffled. He had been busy the entire day. He had done such a good job on it, yet there was not a single word of praise from Stephen! How heartless could Stephen be to hang up on him?Stephen answered Yvonne's call. "Yes?""I just wanted to ask … How is Mr. Anderson Senior?" Yvonne asked hesitatingly, afraid that she might tread on Stephen's toes."His talk with Noah didn't go well. Grandpa wanted to send Noah to Mount Northerna in a

On the eighth floor, Elvin was hiding in the archive storage, bored while waiting for Britney to look for him. He popped his head out of the door and grumbled, "Britney sure is slow."Right at that moment, Britney bumped into Noah. She had met Noah a few times at Anderson Mansion, and he had always been quite the gentleman. Britney knew him quite well, so she wasn't on guard at all."Britney, are you playing alone?" Noah asked with a smile.Britney shook her head and replied, "I'm playing hide and seek with Elvin. Do you want to join?""Oh?" Noah raised an eyebrow. "Where's your Dad?""He's with Aunt Yvonne.""I see …" Noah replied pensively. He had been waiting outside Miller Villa for the past two days. He had been waiting for a chance when Yvonne would take Elvin out. He had followed them all the way to Anderson Group.He had initially thought that there would be no more opportunities to deal with them once they were in Stephen's territory. But he had never expected

The employee did as he was told, zooming in on the screen that Yvonne had pointed at. Elvin's figure appeared on the screen."He seemed to have entered the archive storage on the eighth floor," the employee said while fast-forwarding the footage. After Elvin entered the storage room, no one had entered the room for a long time.Yvonne was so worried that her palms were already sweating.Right at this moment, a man in a cap entered the screen. He gently pushed the door open and entered the archive storage. Ten minutes later, he came out pushing a box on a trolley. The box was big enough to put a child in it!He didn't take the elevator. Instead, he went by the fire exit, vanishing from the surveillance footage."It's Noah," Stephen said coldly. He could recognize Noah anywhere.Noah was equally familiar with the surveillance in the building, which was why he could avoid it so easily."Contact the police and gather the surveillance footage around the building. We have to know
